For the most part, Tim Thomas seems like he’s kept quiet regarding his relationship with former 2011 Stanley Cup Final opposing goalie Roberto Luongo. When he does comment, it’s usually a “no harm done” type response.

Both goalies have seen some big changes since that hotly contested series – Thomas with his sabbatical last season, Luongo with his strange saga in Vancouver – so it’s not that tough to believe that the guy who won the Vezina and Stanley Cup is the one who really has moved on.

For entertainment value’s sake, it would be more fun if he’d fire back, though …

The Olympics are a nice little exhibition played under international rules. The fact stands that in the biggest series of his career, with his team a prohibitive favorite, he posted an embarrassing .891 save % for the series, also a laughable .786 when his team was on the brink of clinching, and was yanked from 2 games. I’m sure those results are acceptable in Vancouver.
